Module 3: Finding Your Data Story
In this module, you will learn an approach to finding patterns in data through visualization. You will see how charts can be used to communicate messages that can be conceptual or data driven and declarative or exploratory. Next, we will learn how to use different charting techniques to reveal data patterns. Visual aids play a major role in identifying ideas and, as a result, we will learn how to match the appropriate visual technique to the ideas we hope to expose. Next, we will explore analysis tools. RStudio is one of the most commonly used tools, and we will explore its visual capabilities. Finally, we will discuss a framework that will help analysts effectively plan for data collection, analysis, and, ultimately, visualization.

Principais avaliações do Introduction to Business Analytics: Communicating with Data
It was great to give me a better understanding about the way how we can structure and systematically deliver a great data visualization. It will definitely improve my communication.
Amazing course - my only issue is that I think it was previously part of a 6 series specialization and I can't locate the other courses.
